The group will be represented in a partnership between Epstein Fox Performances and Dinin Arts
The US-based Galvin Cello Quartet has joined the classical division roster of Epstein Fox Performances (EFP), in partnership with Dinin Arts.
Mike Epstein and Michael Fox will look after the quartet for West Coast and Midwest bookings respectively, while Sarah Dinin will take care of East Coast bookings.
The Galvin Cello Quartet comes from the Concert Artists Guild (CAG) roster, following its success winning the 2022 CAG Victor Elmaleh Competition and the silver medal at the 2021 Fischoff Competition.
The members hail from Brazil, South Korea and the US. Three of its members – Sydney Lee, Haddon Kay, and Luiz Fernando Venturelli – met as students in the studio of pedagogue Hans Jørgen Jensen at Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music, where the ensemble takes its name from the Mary B. Galvin Recital Hall. James Baik, another student of Jensen, joined the group in 2024.
Recent and upcoming highlights include performances and residencies at Bravo! Vail, Ravinia, Ascent International Cello Festival, Newport Classical, Merkin Hall, and the Walton Arts Center.
Tim Mar from CAG commented on its alumni’s signing: ’We could not be more thrilled for the Galvin Cello Quartet as they embark on this exciting new chapter with the incredible team at Epstein Fox Performances!
’EFP is a leading force in shaping the future of classical music as they connect today’s audiences with exceptional artistry and support artists in building meaningful, fulfilling careers.
’We are beyond proud to have Concert Artists Guild alumni well-represented on the EFP roster and cannot wait to see what this new partnership brings to life!’
